Has anybody fitted the 18" NM RSE12 JCW-Spec (ET40, 7.5 width) with a 225/40r18?

Thinking of getting the ET40 version instead of ET45 since I'm planning to retrofit the JCW brakes in the future.

Any problem with rubbing the fender or the shock? I'm lowered on KW V2 but not slammed. Thanks!

 

Just for comparison I have an R56 JCW (big brake) on ET 45x7.5x17 using 235/40/17 and lowered 2" with no rubbing or scraping. Looks great,rides better.
Hope this helps.

it doesn't. this is the f56 wheel fitment thread

 

Just across this when I was searching some parts for my mini. Read the last line in the 1st photo! And take a look the ET in second photo. So from my understanding, if you are looking to get coilover in the future you must get wheels with ET 40 in order to not use any spacers? Photos are took from NM engineering website. Is this correct?

 

Eibachs using my car this week to fit front and rear sway bars, so excited. But anyone know anything about lowering with my offsets? Wheels fit pretty agresively and don't want my fenders getting destroyed by my tires every pothole I hit.
Edit:ET 35

 

It's a tall tire so I can't really comment. When I was on the same setup I was on 205/40s so my experience probably isn't worth much.

 

Hi does anyone know if 18x8 et45 will be a direct fit for f56? Means no need to stretch tire and run negative camber. Thanks!

 

Depends on tires, suspension, and brakes (JCW or no?)..for my JCW I'd prefer a 7.5" wide wheel as this will give you more space between the tire (if not too wide) and the strut. I believe that the NM Wheels made for the JCW are 7.5" wide with ET 40 or 45, and both fit without spacers (whether you go 17" or 18"). I prefer 18's personally. I've not bought a second set of wheels yet, but when I do I won't be going with an 8" wide wheel...7.5" is plenty even for a wider tire.

 

When I purchased my car, it came with the standard 16" rims for the MCS. I had the dealer swap them out for the 17" tentacle spoke rims. My question is: how many lbs of air do these require as aposed to the 16" wheels? The tag on my door tells me the spec for the 16" as the car was originally built for the 16" wheels. The 17" wheels came with the Dunlop sport max RT.

 

I want to go with 7.5" but the wheel I like only offers 18x8 et45 that's why I want to find out if it will work on my car or not 😭

 

would 18x8 et45 clear if i just change the spring? Thanks!

 

can we see some pics? i am thinking getting M220 with same spec but according to avant garde, it's a no go on my car

 

Hi, does the Avant Garde M220 18x8 et45 will fit on F56 cooper base? Thank you!

 

About to have this fitted in the morning.
18x8+50
225x40x18
Currently on KwV3
Will try to fit JCW bbk in the future.
Hope this all works. If not, (let's just hope t all works)

 

It's nice to have found this thread again. Re-Reading the whole thing brought back lots of memories! Lol

 

Looking forward to the outcome!!!

 

lol. Me too cal113 getting anxious.

 

It's close but fitment is life. Lol.



Ta da!!! No spacers, just right.

 

Very close. Well done. You have near zero wheel gap, but just enough. F55 done right.

 

Ecstuning. My guess is 2-3 mm. Couldn't get the gap in he pic, but there is some in there. lol.

 

Yea, its pretty low over stock height.

 

Fronts are flush and rear is a little tucked, maybe 5-8 mm.

 

Are they going to clear when you go to the BBK?

 

I have no idea Vetsvette. Lol. I think I need to save my pennies for a bit before I can even think about more car parts. I'm sure if needed, I can get a 5mm spacer to push he offset +50 to +45. People seems to have found a sweet spot at +45



Didn't really get a good angle, but most likey need 5-8mm spacer to clear jcw bbk. Not sure, or didn't measure at all.

 

Those wheels will look great with the red Brembos! Very nicely done! Spacers will give you a bit more room from those struts too! :-)
